Extension & Colonization Announcements

Alpha Gamma Delta Welcomes New Members at St. Joseph’s College in New York


The Fraternity is proud to announce that two new colonies were established at St. Joseph’s College in New York in late February.

St. Joseph’s College has two campuses—Brooklyn and Long Island. When installed, two separate collegiate chapters of Alpha Gamma Delta will be added to our chapter roll. Both campuses have an energetic, dedicated group of local women who are interested in assimilating into an international organization.

Led by the Fraternity’s extension team and staff, Alpha Gamma Delta hosted an informational session and conducted personal interviews (infoviews) with interested women. The women in each interest group were directed to a custom website for each St. Joseph’s colony — goalphagam.com — where they could learn more about the organization and sign up for infoviews. On Monday, February 27, a New Member Ceremony was conducted at each campus, welcoming the women into their new member period with Alpha Gamma Delta.

Focusing on the Fraternity’s brand message, Live with Purpose, Alpha Gamma Delta used a values-based selection criterion that aligned with the Alpha Gamma Delta Purpose to ensure that the values of all new members paralleled the values and mission of the Fraternity.


Alpha Gamma Delta to Recolonize Chapter at University of Southern California

Alpha Gamma Delta is pleased to announce we will be recolonizing our Delta Alpha Chapter at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. Colonization activities will begin in fall 2013.

“I’m so pleased that Alpha Gamma Delta has the opportunity to return to University of Southern California,” said Jackie Brannon Stutts, International President. “USC is an extraordinary institution and we have an abundance of alumnae support. Both of these factors will contribute to an undoubtedly successful chapter.”


Alpha Gamma Delta to Colonize Chapter at Villanova University

Alpha Gamma Delta is pleased to announce we will be colonizing at Villanova University in Villanova, Pennsylvania (near Philadelphia). Colonization activities will begin in spring 2013.

“Villanova is a perfect place to cultivate a new Alpha Gamma Delta colony,” said Stephannie Sack Bailey, Executive Director. “The women on this campus make ideal Alpha Gamma Delta women because of the values already instilled by the campus. I can’t wait to see this chapter grow and reach its full potential!”

With vigorous academic standards rooted in liberal arts, Villanova University is a private Catholic university comprised of more than 6,000 full-time undergraduate students. The Villanova community helps students grow intellectually, professionally and spiritually and challenges them to reach their full potential.

“The Villanova University Panhellenic Community is thrilled to welcome Alpha Gamma Delta as the newest member of our family,” said Phil O'Neill, Assistant Director for Fraternity and Sorority Life at Villanova. “Their commitment to Live with Purpose provides us with an amazing opportunity to reinforce the Augustinian values upon which Villanova was founded. We are extremely excited about the partnership.”
